1. Reputable Sponsors and Products
Make sure the affiliate program you choose works with reputable sponsors who are selling products that you would be comfortable buying yourself.
2. Product Prices
Choose an affiliate program that offers products in a price range that is high enough so you'll actually make money from them but not too high that none of your readers can afford them. Choosing products in the $10-$500 range is generally a good balance.
3. Commissions
In order for an affiliate program to be worth your while, the commission attached to the product you advertise on your blog has to be adequate. Look for commissions above 20%.
4. Payout Schedule and Method
Before you join an affiliate program, make sure you'll be paid at least once per month. Also, check the minimum payout amount. $100 is typical for a minimum payout amount. Naturally, payout amounts less than $100 are even better. Finally, ensure that the payout method (PayPal, check, etc.) works for you.
5. Tracking
Choose an affiliate program that provides adequate tracking tools, so you can see where your earnings are coming from and tweak your participation to maximize future earnings.
6. Customer Support
If you have problems with your affiliate program, it's imperative that you can get the assistance you need in a timely manner. Be certain that the affiliate program you choose offers adequate customer support via email or telephone, so you can get the help you need when you need it.
